Including filter system and high-performance Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) filter.
Total dissolved solids, or TDS, is the collective term for the minerals, salts and metals dissolved in your tap water. These dissolved solids can come from natural contact with rock and soil, or be introduced through treatment and distribution. When TDS gets high, you might notice a salty, bitter or metallic taste and increased spotting on glass and fixtures around Edgewood. Because TDS measures a mixture rather than a single chemical, the right response depends on which dissolved components are present.
High TDS often reflects dissolved salts like sodium, calcium, magnesium, chloride and sulfate along with other small ions. In Central Florida — where groundwater is commonly hard — elevated dissolved solids can make drinking water less pleasant and accelerate scale on water heaters, faucets and irrigation equipment. You may also see film on shower doors and soap that won’t lather well. A TDS test will show the overall level and help pinpoint whether dissolved salts are the main issue in your Edgewood home.
If your goal is to reduce dissolved salts and lower total dissolved solids, reverse osmosis (RO) is the single filter technology most capable of doing that. Unlike standard carbon filters that mainly improve taste and remove many organics, RO forces water through a semi-permeable membrane that rejects the dissolved ions that contribute to high TDS. For homeowners in Edgewood looking for a targeted solution, RO is the technology designed to address dissolved solids across diverse sources.
A whole-house reverse osmosis system sized for your property treats water at the point of entry so lowered TDS reaches every tap, shower and appliance across your Edgewood home. Because RO membranes are sensitive to sediment and chlorine, these systems are paired with prefiltration to protect the membrane and extend its life. The outcome is water that tastes cleaner, leaves less residue, and behaves more consistently in a humid subtropical climate where hard groundwater commonly affects fixtures; Mr. Pure Water can test your water and advise whether whole-house RO fits your plumbing and household needs.
